Watch the complete build of the 1/12 Ford GT40 Mk.II as raced in the 1966 Lemans race - featured in the 2019 Ford vs Ferrari movie. This large scale Trumpeter model is much inferior to Meng's version in terms of accuracy but there are still something good about the model. In the coming videos I will try to use my modelling skill to enhance this kit so that it could compete with the Meng's. And I will also make this model in its 'battle damaged' weathered look that is similar to what we always see in the photos and in the movie. The video also features the unseen footages of Part 3 episode the showcase the dirt and grime transformation during racing in Le Mans.

Amazing work

Nice build! Can't agree with your comment about the Meng kit, though. Despite it's failings, the Trumpeter has a far more accurate representation of the bodywork than the Meng.

@henschelporsche1 3 дня назад

Thanks! I actually didn’t have a Meng’s version to compare but mainly through the pics and their manual. I think there are good and bad things on both kits but with the trumpeter affordable price it surely beats Meng for a modeller’s point of view. I didn’t know what’s wrong with Meng bodywork, can you elaborate?

@johnsullivan395 2 дня назад

@@henschelporsche1 Firstly, the Meng front clamshell is completely wrong. In side elevation, the curvature over the wheels is far too swoopy and cartoon like. The headlights are wrong and look to be based on a modern Ford GT. The centre cockpit area is also wrong with A pillars that are too thick. In my mind, it looks like the centre section of a Porsche 904. Check out period photos and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for the information, I think I made the right decision, so how I find Meng products are a bit overpriced with their quality, not to mention the finished colour version that are selling for a grand.

That is by far the most realistic weathering Ive seen on a car model, brilliant!

Amazing results, weathering looks really, really good!

Nice work. May I ask the ratio of the blue paint is 95% Mr Hobby 323 blue to 5% white?

@Jelly-B Год назад

Lovin the look. It makes a great change to see a car that feels as if it's been raced hard n covered with oil n grim. Which airbrush do you use?

@henschelporsche1 Год назад

Thanks? I had hesitation when applying the dirt on a perfectly shine car body thinking it would ruin everything. But I think it turns out much nicer than leaving it clean. It certainly gives the car a character and its age.

@henschelporsche1 Год назад

The airbrush I used for dirt was iwata Hi-Line HP-BH

What a great build, wish I could come close. Have a weathered 1:18, also very nice. 👍🏻

@henschelporsche1 11 месяцев назад

Not an easy kit to build but the price can compensate its shortfall 😏

Fantastic result. Very inspiring.

@romanklisiewicz1736 Год назад

Outstanding, I absolutely love this build and you’ve taught me some techniques!

@henschelporsche1 Год назад

Thanks !! Love to hear that I could help! I was also doing experiments as this was the first time to do road dirt weathering and glad it works out ok. Will surely to use it on my of my future race car builds .😀

@romanklisiewicz1736 Год назад

@@henschelporsche1 Well it definitely worked out perfectly will definitely try your weathering technique on a future build. What airbrush and mm nozzle did you use for the weathering?

@richardbartlett1294 5 месяцев назад

Wonderful job. Nice weathering, realistic. Nice technique.

Fantastic build I have this kit that I’m going to start soon I think I will keep mine clean did you have any issues with the build

@henschelporsche1 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yes quite a few issues as mentioned in my videos. Mainly the fit and warp after painted/ cleared , the quality of the decals especially the tire ones, the inaccuracy of the parts, the fragile hinges of the rear cowl- but even all that you have to love their price😂!!

@jenseichmann7693 Год назад

Absolut great work!!!!!

@henschelporsche1 Год назад

Thanks for your compliment, I am just ok and not as great as other master builders, still learning😄

@LanceisLawson 9 месяцев назад

I strongly disagree that race cars should never be cleaned. After a race it is important to clean the race car in order to better inspect the car fordamage. That said the weathering job is more suited to model railroading than model car building.
